Nice aroma, cooked agave with that slight heat. Finish’s nicely. Great cocktail base, could sip this two. Value driven from a distillery of multiple brands. Over delivers
Very mellow on the nose, however taste packs a punch. Peppery with a vanilla & Carmel taste. Unbelievable deal at $21.99
Nose: A mellow first impression. Vanilla and chocolate, plus sweet and fruity wine barrel influences. Slightly acidic. A dusting of nutmeg with oranges and apricots. Flavor: The aromas promised mellow.... But the first sips brought spice and pepper punch. Followed up with sweet agave, a little brininess and more pepper punch. As it sat, chocolate, coffee and vanilla notes re-emerged as secondary flavors. Some oiliness. The trademark La Cofradia funkiness is still in the background. But solid enough. Finish: This isn’t crazy complex, nor does it have a marathon finish. It is fairly priced and I see newcomers enjoying this.
This blanco is aged in Chardonnay wine casks for less than 2 months, which imparts a tinge of color. Nose: Faint note of the famous La Cofradia funk, laced with vanilla and marshmallow. Fruitiness and a floral presence. A bit of dust and earthiness. Pleasant but timid nose. Flavor: Vanilla sweetness, pepper and spice heat. Marginal bitterness on the sides of my tongue. Medium body with some viscosity. Nice idea resting on Chardonnay. Finish: Pleasant enough heat and sweetness in the finish. This won’t dazzle you with complexity, but it is a decent stand alone pour.
Aromas of chocolate, fruit (peach?), butterscotch and light straw. Sweet butterscotch taste. A little light in the mouth with a short finish.
Cheap as chips & tastes like tequila should, not sure what else I should add. It’s too bad brands like this don’t have big endorsement and personality behind them, it would win people over in droves.
